The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of different active recovery intensities on sprinting performance. Discussion/Conclusions: Sprinting ability of well-trained swimmers decreases when active recovery is performed during the resting interval separating 25 m swimming bouts. The decreased performance is independent of the intensity of active recovery within the range of 50-60% of the 100 m velocity. Active recovery should not be applied during the resting interval of swimming sets designed to improve sprinting ability.
